But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.

Welcome to the forum Ryan. Here in Jacksonville we have the Jax Beekeeper Association club. Our next meeting is on February 18, 7:00 PM at the Agriculture Center, 1010 McDuff Ave. Third Monday of the month. We try to have a guest speaker every month. This month it is:Development on Rulemaking on Bee Removals, Mr. Michael J. Page, Chief Bureau of Entomology and Pest Control Florida Dept. of Agriculture Consumer Services.We are having Mr. Page speak because this has been a very controversial topic due to the recent rule changes. Our web site is: Jaxbees.com.We have approximately 200 members. Last month we had 100 people attend the meeting. The doors are open at 6:30, a lot of people come early to talk to the other beeks. If you come to the meeting, let me know, I'm the VP.Jim

Thanks for the heads up Jim. I don't see why I can't make it. Is the agriculture center the same as the extension office? I've been out there to get soil samples tested before.

Jim, if at all possible can you post a video of Mr. Page's talk or post at least the gist of it? I'd be interested to hear what he says.
